ChipTest Associates

 

Gryphics, Inc integrated circuit test sockets feature:

  • Superior electrical performance providing best test results at high frequencies required for RF wireless and Broadband applications due to application specific contact design which offers low inductance values.
  • More than competitive pricing to lower your overall development, prototyping, failure analysyis, and test costs or more sockets for the same money so data can be correlated. 
  • Small footprint that allows more space for components or decrease the size of your test board.
  • Short lead times with many socket configurations in stock for next day shipment.

bga socket  

Gryphics BGA sockets feature low inductance, 0.56-0.76 nH with -1 dB @ 15 Ghz and 50 ohm inductance through the contacts.  Ideal for laboratory work and device characterization.

Also, a small footprint design that takes up less space on the DUT board and has cutouts that allow components up to 1.8 mm tall to be mounted on the board underneath the sockets, saving space and permitting decoupling capacitors to be closer to the signal pads.  Various lid options are available including hinged, clip-on, heat sink, and with cut outs for probes.
qfn socket Gryphics QFN sockets feature low inductance, 0.86 nH with -1 dB @ 10 GHz.  They also have a very small footprint ~ 1 square inch with cutouts to allow components to be mounted very close to the signal pads on the DUT board.  Low cost and short leadtimes.
The Gryphics BGA Grypper socket can be soldered directly to any printed circuit board using the same footprint and layout as that for the device.  Only 3 mm wider than the device itself the Grypper socket can be used where testing needs to be done on production boards and not specially made DUT boards.  Same electrical performance, low inductance, 0.56-0.76 nH with -1 dB @ 15 Ghz and 50 ohm inductance through the contacts, as Gryphics' standard BGA sockets.

Gryphics ATE sockets for high volume production test feature less than 0.5 nH inductance and 300,000 to 500,000 cycles.  Contacts are field replaceable and the sockets have extremely small footprints to save board space and allow capacitors to be mounted very close to the pads.  For QFN, QFP, SO and other small leaded and unleaded devices.

Gryphics QFP and SO device socket feature < 1 nH inductance and small footprints.  Ideal for failure analysis and device characterization these sockets feature low cost and short lead times.
